Aureus Medical Blog Celebrates One Year Anniversary
Can it really be one year since we started the Aureus Medical blog? They say that time flies when you’re having fun – and even though this past year has not been easy for many people because of the job market and the overall economy – life has been okay for most in our profession and we here at Aureus have been having a lot of fun working with all of you during this last year.
Social Media DOs and DON’Ts
Everyone seems to be on Facebook, Twitter, or one of the many other social networking sites out there. These are great ways to keep in touch with friends and family. But in this age of “sharing” on these sites, some may overshare! This could cause problems when searching for a new assignment or a full-time position. According to a 2009 CareerBuilder survey, 45% of employers screen job seekers through social media.

Aureus Medical is happy to announce its Employees of the Quarter. Employees are nominated by their Account Managers each quarter. The winners will then be included in the Employee of the Year nominations. Congratulations to all!

It made an impact on my thought process in regards to references and I thought you could benefit from reading it.

Standing Out in a Competitive Job Market
As a contract or direct hire employee, you find yourself in a competitive job market as there are more and more people seeking the same positions. There are still plenty of jobs to be found! Companies are still hiring and job seekers are landing jobs each and every day. So, what can you do to separate yourself from the other employees you are competing with?

We want to make sure you take the time and explore the region you are in. Your Account Manager should be able to help you research the area and find out some of the hidden gems.
A Relationship Built On Trust
Trust is one of the most important elements in every human relationship. Is a friendship, a marriage, or a dating relationship even worth it if you can’t trust the other person? Probably not!
